Alright, October was a slow start, but Autumn we are HERE!!! 🍁🍂 It’s our handsome boy Archie’s time to shine with his beautiful fall-colored coat, AND we happen to be celebrating three years of Archie at tbm as of this weekend. This gorgeous guy’s been a perfect addition to his pack walks ever since puppyhood, and we’ll only be looking forward to more years with him. See you for your walk later today, Archie! 🍂💕

November Dog of the Month: Indy 🍂

🍂 tbm’s impact, from Indy’s family:
“tbm is the best! They have been invaluable partners to Indy and our family since we started her pack walks three years ago. Indy was slow to adjust to pack walks at first, and the tbm team was wonderful helping and encouraging her as she settled into a comfortable pace and made some incredible friends. tbm was also an amazing help during Indy’s transition to big sister (to two tiny humans!), working with her and rewarding her patience every step of the way. Thank you, tbm!”


🍂 Indy’s favorite things:
- Cheese
- Chasing squirrels
- Rolling in things she shouldn’t
- Belly rubs
- Cold weather

Happy Halloween, tbm family!!! We’re keeping your pups safe from goblins and ghouls on their walks today… but the only thing that will help them avoid any Halloween tricksters is if they’re in costume!
🧛‍♀️👻🤡👹🎃👽👨‍🎤🧙‍♂️🧝‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧟
We’re looking forward to getting them suited up for walks today so we can keep the Halloween spirit high (despite this warm weather 😱)

It’s been a minute… but our small team is steadily growing with the addition of our part-time Handler, Hunter!

- Hunter 🎋

“I’ve learned so much about each dog I work with, and I now know that leading a pack takes someone calm and assertive with them — they have to trust that you’ll protect them to be the pack leader. It’s amazing to be provided with trust to take care of such an important part of someone’s family!”

Q: It’s Halloween night and you’re taking two of your regular pack members out trick or treating. Who are you bringing and what are their costumes? 

“I think Maya would make a great scarecrow with a little flannel and hat! And Toby with some bat wings would be the cutest happy, fluffy little bat ever. 👒 🦇”

Three years ago our curly girly Penny joined her big sister on tbm pack walks, and this duo has continued to shine as bright as ever! Thanks for being Cleo’s main squeeze, Pen, and for being such a good packmate to your crew. 💕☀️
